Writer's Workshop

After watching these two videos on two different grade level writers workshop, i was actually excited to watch how these children develop their writing and comprehension skills. I honestly did not think that students as young as five years old would be able to read. i was amazed how the kindergarten class were able to give feedback on eachothers work without the help of the teacher. In the first grade class, i liked how these children were actually enjoying their writing time, and comfortable with what they were writing about. I liked how the teacher gave them the freedom to write how they wanted, whether on the floor or at a desk, with their friends or alone. they were also able to use whatever they wanted like markers, colors, pens, or pencils.
